Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extensions mutes all tabs by default allowing you to make tab audible on-demand. I've created it because I got furious at various news sites that autoplay videos in background, often somewhere along the text or in the sidebar.

This extension has zero analytics, tracking or any other data gathering and it will stay this way forever.

The extension may be a bit less stable until I figure out all the bugs and quirks on Manifest v3. Apologies for that!

WHAT'S NEW

2.2.0: Rewrite service worker to prevent issues with MV3 being garbage standard that keeps glitching and killing things in the background 2.1.0: Corporate ad-driven garbage bullshit requirement update (converted the extension from manifest v2 to v3) 2.0.1: Update privacy practices 2.0: Removed popup, added options page and context menu instead.

It's a nice extension but it will be removed soon. The original developer no longer maintains it, so i have upgraded it based on this extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mute-tab/djnlklfindboblpikpeaedoamfhgklfd
